Separate admins

(1/8) > >>

Mr_Mr_Mr:
I think it is time that Nick and Relkeb should only be admins on the SMP server. I think there should be admins that care more about the classic server to look after it. Don't get me wrong, Nick and Relkeb are doing a good job on SMP, but they are not showing that they are doing a whole lot for the classic server. As nick has said before, SMP and Classic are two separate servers, and having people be admin on two separate servers makes it harder to do their job for both of the servers. I am sure that they would rather like to be admins on the SMP server as it is developing and the classic server is basically done developing*. I personally would rather be an admin on a server that is developing because it would be fun to try and help develop the server, but, being admin on classic is what needs to be done a bit more right now. The classic server is being neglected and rejected at the time.
Ever since the addition of the SMP server, it has taken most of the attention from the classic server to the SMP server. Don't get me wrong again, I love playing on the SMP server as there is more to do on SMP than just build, but what is the classic server doing if it is just being neglected and isn't receiving any help? The only point I can see is for the people that like to be artistic and build, as that is what classic is about. There has been less promotions happening ever since the SMP server has been added, less people want to become op on classic now, they all want to be mod on SMP.
There isn't even any events going on in classic anymore because of the addition of SMP. With no events, there isn't anything fun going on, especially since there is no developing happening right now. There is no new exciting things to look forward to anymore because of the addition of SMP. With separate admins, this can be changed, but they have to be willing, they have to be willing to make events and try and if optical is willing, they can help him develop the server more and implement new plugins. There has been a topic that MrMonkey made about making a 'ticket system' and Matt88222 went out of his way to make the plugin for optical, but it has never been added, that is how bad classic is being ignored. In my honest opinion, there should be separate admins for classic and SMP

*Less is being done, there are less plugins being implemented in a certain amount of time.

wall of text!! MY EYES!!

But I do agree with you, nick says he checks on classic but i kindof doubt he does as much as he says he does. And classic is being ignored quite a bit.

And alot of opererators from classic are now spending all there time on smp, So having active admins on classic may bring its pop back!

This needs to be read first before anything is decided.

In the eyes of an admin, they are doing more work than we think.

Nick3306:
While I understand the concerns, I'm not sure what having a classic admin would do. Whenever I go on classic (which is often, dont listen to morgosin, his last login was 3 weeks ago) I end up maybe creating 1 or 2 new worlds then I just sit there talking to people. One problem is that a lot of our ops are inactive (mr's last login is hours shy of 2 weeks ago) So please state what exactly a classic admin would do.

Your_Mine:
I agree with Mr that Classic needs more attention; however, I don't think separating admins is the way to go. Nick does spend time on Classic,  I have seen him multiple times. The problem is, admins don't have the power to add plugins, only Optical does. Now I recognize Optical os busy, and had put a lot of work already into the server, so I think appointing a designated coder to develop the Opticraft Server software is what we need.
As for events, well yes I agree we need some. I suggested one to the admins a while back, but they declined it because they were busy getting SMP up to speed. Now that things are running more smoothly, perhaps we could get events started in Classic again.

Edit: Basically, all a Classic admin would do that we don't have already is organize events, but we don't need a separate admin for that.
